QUESTION
1250. Mr D Bergman (DA) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:
(1) Has the South African Football Museum officially opened; if not
why not;
(2) what is the total cost of the project as at the latest
specified date for which information is available?
NW1459E
REPLY
1) The South African Football Museum is a private initiative, and it is
not a museum but an exhibition. It will therefore not be opened
officially like a museum would. However, it runs exhibitions from time
to time when funds permit they say. The organization reports that it
does not have adequate funds to open and operate a museum.
2) The Department has not contributed any funding to this project.
